Uk Servers

<div class="IPBDescription">Any good ones?</div> Hello All,

I started playing NS in January of this year because of it being reviewed in PCZ, it was multiplayer and it was free (yes, I'm a cheap skate).

I stopped playing in about May as PCZ stopped their servers here in the UK, now I'm lost with all the updates and new versions etc.

So I was wondering if you kind people might know of any newbie friendly UK servers as I fancy starting again?

Thanks in advance...

Losbad

    Welcome to the forums! Now this message is not directed at you, but rather the other people in the forum.

    Please just give some server addresses to Losbad. I would give them to you myself but I live in Australia <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Please do not start saying "This server is better" or "This server sucks". Just some simple information like "<insert ip address here> This server is noob friendly and usually has lots of people on it".

    Ok, here's some good ones. Lots of teamplay, nice people.

    212.42.13.20:27015 - #yo-clan | www.yoclan.com NS 2.01 [CD-req]
    195.92.99.29:27015 - TheHaven - Natural Selection v2.01 [Server 2]
    212.58.133.215:27015 - *No Time For Muppets* NS 2.01 [CDReq]

    *EDIT: I suggest you download <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/' target='_blank'>All Seeing Eye</a> and filter the servers for the UK.

    I would suggest some, but they're kinda being used for beta testing ATM <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    another one worth to play on is:
    212.58.133.40:27035 TheMrMen.net Ns2.01 (CD-Required)

    nice to see people coming back, we need more players to the community <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i prefer HLSW (half-life server watch), ase sucks :>
    download it at <a href='http://www.hlsw.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.hlsw.org/</a>
    it's easy to setup, add ips and join

    Yes, muppetking is teh pwn.

    I would recommend playing on cheating-death servers though, find it at <a href='http://www.unitedadmins.com/cdeath.php' target='_blank'>United Admin's website</a>.

    It's a program you have to run to join a CD server, and makes hacks much more difficult to use.

    212.58.133.215:27015 are both very good for beggining players.

    You used to play on the PCZ server? Do the names Confidence, Anderval or FaBB mean anything to you? If so, hi, I'm one of them (Twoflower now, but, hey!). How you?

    According to ASE, PC Zone has a server up again now.

    PC Zone Magazine NS 2.01 [All Maps] | 64ms | 213.208.119.231:27025

    I used to play on there, and one time i said hi to you Anderval and you ranted at me like some retarded monkey about how i'm a nub and you've never seen me before.

    Funny how that was the last time i decided to play on that server after a month or two on there everyday.

    premise 1 - there are hacks that work on VAC servers that don't work on CD servers
    premise 2 - there are no hacks that work on CD servers that don't work on VAC servers

    hence CD > VAC;

    VAC > no anti-hack ==> CD > no anti-hack

    CD is the best anti hacking/cheating solution for half-life.

    [Guys, we're getting rather off-topic here... by the by; CD doesn't stop cheats, it b0rks them, so aimbots become inaccurate and wallhacks think your enemies are behind you]

    Best wishes, and I agree with getting ASE or any other server searching tool. If you know IRC you can get on GamesNet and #naturalselection and ask for help.
  • JimmehJimmeh Join Date: 2003-08-24 Member: 20173Members, Constellation
    SkulkRush veterans server
    Game.net - 3rd marine team (or some crap like that)

    I dont have IP's for them, but they r0x0z

    Roobs are the pwn.

  • twoflowtwoflow Singing Drunk Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 1950Members, Constellation
    Strikes me as odd, as Anderval is probably one of the most polite players I've decimated. He take it so well when I whomp the tush-tush!

    Sure it was him? Maybe it was me. Was probably me. Confidence, that is. Sorry.

    heh, well, well, yes I remember the names Confidence & Anderval, always inanely laughing at me and my newbie cronies over the voice thinghy, as they constantly kicked are arses, oh those were the days.

    Oh, things will be different now as well all have adsl too (who am I kidding), still crap at FPS's.

    But, thanks guys (& gals) for your responses, I think I'll pop over to the muppetking or whatever that one was, the boss won't mind as he is away for the day......

    Cheers,

    Losbad

    Laughing with you, love, with you. Always with you. Also: FaBB, indeed, was (is) completely forgettable: yes.

    If you want to name a time, we'll play us some NS. Teach you all the new stuff, like.. well, it's the principal that counts. Hop into #lbsc on Quakenet if you're so inclined.

    We really should make PCZ popular again, too.

  • MausMaus Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5599Members
    Roob's != pwn.

    I know better than to lay out a big rant against the server in a public place like this, but it's overrated and has adminning that is ... questionable. And that's me being kind.

    I find most servers are helpful aslong as you tell people you are new to the game and listen to their advice. Its when you just run around acting like you know it all, building your own upgrade chambers and trying to go comm that people get really annoyed.
